Expo – Right Here With Me

Expo is a new electo-pop group out of Belgium that have started to create a little buzz on the internets.  This is their 2nd single, involving the classic recipe for a good track:  Simple drum track+heavy synths+catcy chorus+piano breakdown.  Can’t really go wrong here. Also included is their first track, “I Don’t Mind”

Alex Clare – Damn Your Eyes

This guy has one seriously powerful voice.  Adding to the list of imports we have recently posted, Alex Clare hails from the Southeast of London, bringing vocals full of soul over anything from rock to dubstep.  Here is his cover of  Etta James’  “Damn Your Eyes” (Etta is more popularly known for her Motown classic “At Last”) as well as his original “Too Close.”  You can check out the rest of his album, Lateness of the Hour, at his Soundcloud.

Monarchy – You Don’t Want to Dance

Monarchy is an electro-pop duo out of London, who similarly to the Gorillaz at the start of their career, refuse to show their faces.  In reading up on these guys, it doesn’t seem like it’s all a gimmick either, rather for the sake of being judged on their music rather than appearances or personal lives.  Regardless, this track is one I can’t get out of my head.  Hit play and enjoy.

College – A Real Hero

The last song of the night comes from the ending credits of the movie, Drive.  The song is actually from 2008, from the combined effort of The Valerie Collective, and Electric Youth.  With an 80’s feel, this song has a catchy chorus and synths to match.  Also reminded me of Kanye’s song “Paranoid,” when I first heard it.  Time to jump in your Ferrari Testarossa and enjoy.

Benny Benassi – Cinema

Good Morning, Good Morning Everybody!  Sorry had to say that to wake myself up.  It’s Saturday and I wanted to share some electro house music to get your weekend started.  Benny Benassi is an Italian DJ and producer, as well as a grammy award winner.  To be honest I remember hearing his hit “Satisfaction” back in the day but really never heard of his name till this year.  That’s because he has had two huge singles off his album, Electroman.  If you have gone out in the past year, there is no doubt you have heard “Beautiful People,” with Chris Brown or “Cinema.”  Below check out “Cinema” as well as a remix and his original hit that put him on the map.
